Chapter 21

(Note: This is a RP I'm doing with spd243. She will upload chapter twenty-two, I'll do chapter twenty-three, and so on and so forth. Also, I fixed our mistakes. Enjoy!)

Shadow smirked as he leaned closer to Sonic. "Are you sure you are not lying to me?" Shadow asked. "Cause I do have the upper hand." The people began to look in Shadow and Sonic's direction. Shadow knew it was the perfect opportunity for revenge. "If you don't tell me the truth, I'll have to do this." Shadow took off Sonic's gloves, causing Sonic's "stuff" to appear in full view, "I'll return your gloves if you tell me the truth." Sonic tried to cover himself up, but Shadow held Sonic close to him.

"I-I was just thinking about something interesting is all..." Sonic blushed deeply from the embarrassment. All eyes were on them.

Shadow smirked. "What was the interesting thing you were thinking about?" Shadow asked.

"Just a kiss is all... Shadow, they're all staring! iPlease!/i" Sonic whispered.

Shadow chuckled at Sonic's embarrassment. "Okay, okay." Shadow held Sonic's hand and teleported to a flower-filled meadow. Sonic was confused at first until he saw a tear trickle down Shadow's muzzle.

Sonic frowned. He didn't like to see Shadow sad. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"I come to this spot every time I need to let my emotions out." Shadow said. "Flowers...it's the one thing Maria loved the most...and...it just feels so unfair." More tears trickle down his muzzle and was building up anger. "We promised to be back on Earth...together!" Shadow said angrily. "But I'm here and she's dead! I should have been the one dead!"

"Sh-Shadow!" Sonic said with surprise. He didn't think Shadow would bring Maria up again. "How can you say that? I need you here with me!" Sonic said. He didn't want to hear Shadow talk about being dead. He cared so much for him.

Shadow stopped for a moment and looked at Sonic. "Y-You need me?" Shadow asked. "Why?"

"Huh? Oh..." Sonic blushed and looked away sadly. He realized he had said too much. "Shadow... I can only imply it... I'm just not ready to say it yet... I don't want to hurt you... you mean so much to me... you're an important part of my life! I couldn't go on without you here!" Sonic realized that he was looking at Shadow with pleading eyes. He looked like he was going to cry himself. He wanted to tell Shadow how he felt. He wanted to return the feelings Shadow had already expressed towards him, but he didn't want him to get burned. He wanted the one he loved to be safe and happy. He just couldn't do it.

"Okay Sonic." Shadow said as he cheered up and smiled. "You always find someway to cheer me up through the emotional and toughest times." Shadow gazed looked down and smirked as he pulled out one of Sonic's glove. "Sonic, you want this?" Shadow asked teasingly.

Sonic quickly grabbed both of his gloves. He didn't want the one he cared about to see him upset. "Goodbye, Shadow." Sonic said before he disappeared. Sonic teleported back to his house, but Shadow had no idea where he was right now. Sonic laid down on his bed, and stared up at the ceiling. "Nobody understands right now."
